Lord Conyngham, well dressed in a top hat and holding a pair of gloves, walks in front of a fence and the open window of a building behind it; sheets of paper inscribed "List of the Contents in the House" are on the sidewalk at his feet. George IV -- with the body, beard, and horns of a goat -- prods him from behind with his horns. A larger lady and a black man are seen laughing in the window in the background; posted on the wall to the left of the window is an advertisement for a Theatre Royal performance of "the farce of Husbands and Wives in which will be introduced a concerto of Horn's."

"Cows and goats with distended udders are grouped outside a small thatched cottage (see British Museum Satires No. 13893). The King, wearing apron, over-sleeves, and top-boots, stands by a cow, an arm resting on her back, his pail at his feet, his stool behind him. Behind (right), a fat dairymaid, presumably Lady Conyngham, walks towards the cottage, her pail on her head. Three plump women watch from open casement windows."--British Museum online catalogue

"A companion plate to British Museum Satires no. 14103. Alderman Wood takes the Queen's left arm, staring down at her and grinning. He wears a top-hat on the back of his head, black tail-coat with trousers; his left hand is thrust under the buttons of his double-breasted coat. He wears an order and a star on which the Queen's head is depicted (see British Museum Satires no. 13810). From her neck hang twin miniatures: Bergami and Wood. Her dress is a modified version of that in British Museum Satires no. 14103: between open over-dress and Turkish trousers is a frilled petticoat reaching well below the knee; her feathered hat resembles that worn at her 'trial'. They stand in a wooded landscape with goats and rabbits in the middle distance. In the background, on the edge of a lake, is the tiny figure of Bergami, both arms raised."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
The Hospital of Bethlem [Bedlam] at Moorfields, London; seen from the north, with ladies and gentlemen walking in the foreground. This is the second building of Bethlem Hospital, dating from 1675-6, before the addition of the side pavilions. The engraver has taken liberties with the gate statuary, showing a lion and unicorn couchant rather than the figures by Cibber of melancholy madness and raving madness. In 1814-1815 the hospital removed to St. George's Fields, Southwark, and the Moorfields building was subsequently demolished
